Xiong'an rail line smartest in country

Plethora of technologies used in construction set national bench mark

On April 1, Xiong'an New Area in Hebei province celebrated its sixth anniversary. Visitors from all over the country took the Fuxing high-speed train to the city to see for themselves the rapid development of China's "city of the future". The quickest trip from Xiong'an Railway Station to Beijing West takes 50 minutes, and the capital's Daxing airport is just 19 minutes away.

As the first major infrastructure project to start construction in Xiong'an New Area, the Beijing-Xiong'an Intercity Railway, which runs for 91 kilometers and has six stations, entered operation on Dec 27, 2020, creating a new high-speed corridor for rail traffic in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The line will make Xiong'an an important transportation hub in North China in the future.

Seventy-one intelligent technologies have been used along the line, setting a new bench mark for high-speed rail in China.

It is the first in the country to make use of Building Information Modeling throughout its design, and it also incorporated 3D digital intelligent management from design and construction to operation.

Xiong'an Railway Station also boasts intelligent services, including precise passenger positioning and path planning, and integration of the station with urban space.

The Xiong'an-Shijiazhuang High-speed Railway and the Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-speed Railway are also under construction.
